Advertise on podcast: Waking Up Wealthy with Isha Vela

During my time in the U.S., while fascism was intensifying, I was tuning into what conversations we need to have to go where we need to go. And the word that kept coming up was SOVEREIGNTY. I broke it down into 5 categories: Economic and Financial  Personal and Individual Energetic and Spiritual Digital and Data Communal and Collective And in the episode, I go into each to provide clarity of the overarching themes you'll be addressing both personally and professionally in the Year of the Fire Horse and beyond. I also provide a 4-level framework for how to distribute wealth (the Mycelial Map). These nerdy musings will help you clarify your soul's work and prepare an energetic foundation for the Fire Horse. Massive shifts are GUARANTEED.  Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com     Download ROOTED TO RISE, my step-by-step PDF guide on how to structure your business finances to build to 6 figures and beyond (with your money nervous system): https://info.ishavela.com/rooted-to-rise   Apply to book your free financial strategy session: https://www.vortex-collective.com/client-intake   Apply to join my team of financial revolutionaries on a mission to liberate women through financial literacy and uncapped income: https://www.vortex-collective.com/expansion-intake   Access free content on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wakingup_wealthy   Follow me on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/wakingup_wealthy

Most people I sit down with are in deep denial about what is happening to their currency and how it's going to affect them.

In the 2nd half of my talk with Nadja Shafton Marks, transformative artist and creative mystic, she shares how to silence the inner critic and how to get PAID for your art.  What she said was like a therapy session for my starving artist within. I was/am a talented artist who was constantly told I would not get paid to create, and that I would have to "get a real job" to survive. And I did what I was told. I got hella educated and loved what I did. But the truth is that we all return to the truest version of ourselves as we evolve, and for you that truest version might be ARTIST.

If you've ever felt blocked creatively If you've ever struggled with feeling like what you paint/sculpt/draw/write is crap If you've not experienced art-making as a liberatory practice This episode is for you.  I sat down with Nadja Marks-Shafton, a young artist who turned her house into a gallery and living sanctuary, Casa Nadja, where she now runs workshops and retreats for people to tap into their creative abundance and artistic liberation. Nadja is a mystic and philosopher whose work has appeared in international magazines, books, film, and television, but what matters most to her is how her paintings make you FEEL. In this episode, she shares her journey going from extreme mental lack to finding infinite flow from Source within.  If this sounds like fluff to you, it's NOT, in fact Nadja shares some very specific practices she uses to meet herself right where she is, NO MATTER WHAT, to transmute and create from that well.

You say we want more money, but what if that's a cover for your true desires? When you take money off the table, what do you really want?  I sat with Amanda Abella a while back to talk about how her enormous success triggered money trauma, and how she was forced to take time off to heal and later streamlined her business for greater time freedom. Amanda has been an online entrepreneur for 15 years working as a financial educator and a highly successful sales trainer. In 2023, she moved to Mexico with her husband where they co-founded Entrepreneur Expat, a YouTube channel, podcast and relocation company that helps successful entrepreneurs move, invest and build wealth abroad. Even though I don't believe in "selling" a country you're not from to wannabe expats, Amanda speaks from lived experience and drops some brilliant, shoot-from-the-hip nuggets about how you can overcomplicate your business to the point of cockblocking yourself from the very thing you say you want.  Wanna do some shadow work for your biz?

We can't talk about money without talking about how it also impacts gender, ethnicity, race, and immigration status. Especially in the context of what is happening to immigrants in the US, where people are getting picked up and put into police cars in broad daylight and then deported, the topic of putting more money in the hands of immigrants is both crucial and timely. I sat down with Adriana Solórzano, who is a financial mentor, intuitive healer, and founder of Raíces y Alas, a podcast dedicated to helping immigrant women heal their relationship with money.  Born in Venezuela and now based in British Columbia, Canada, Adriana blends financial education with emotional and spiritual wisdom to guide women toward conscious wealth and personal sovereignty.  Through personal storytelling Adriana shares about her experience navigating the working world as an immigrant and the power differentials in her marriage to a white Canadian man. In this podcast, we also address how Latinas are still in the early stages of reclaiming financial sovereignty and how we can become more active participants and co-creators in the emerging money system. For ourselves, our families and our communities.
